ensuing action Sergeant Guardiola Perez moved from position to position of his
mortar platoon directing destructive fire upon the enemy. Although he was
exposed to enemy small arms fire throughout the fight, Sergeant Guardiola
Perez continued his courageous actions, and as a result approximately one hundred
and fifty enemy troops were destroyed. The courage and devotion to duty displayed
by Sergeant Guardiola Perez on this occasion reflects great credit upon himself
